Israeli Military Files Murder Charges After 18 Years Against Terrorist Who Killed Ido Zoldan

The Israeli military prosecution in the Judea and Samaria region has filed a murder indictment against Shadi Jumaah for the killing of Ido Zoldan in November 2007. Jumaah was recently released from Palestinian Authority detention and was re-arrested on May 26, 2026, in the city of Kalkilya during a joint operation by the IDF, Shin Bet, and the Gideonim Unit 33. The indictment reveals that Jumaah, along with two accomplices, planned and executed a shooting attack targeting Jewish settlers on a main road. The three prepared by arming themselves and modifying their vehicle, then sought out Israeli-driven cars. They agreed to confirm their victim's Jewish identity before shooting. Upon identifying Zoldan's vehicle, one of the attackers fired at close range, killing him. The perpetrators fled the scene afterward. The charge against Jumaah is intentional joint murder, equivalent to murder under Israeli law. The military prosecution stated it maintains ongoing contact with Zoldan's family, ensuring they receive all legal rights and support. The IDF and military prosecution expressed their deep condolences to the family.
